When I saw that Alex has written the new book, I knew I have to read it early! Thank you so much Hera Books for this copy. I loved all previous stories, I was sure this one will be brilliant too!
A group of friends Ness, Marcus, Padma, Nick, Lana and Johnny - three couples - go to Italy to celebrate 40th birthday. Ness' plans are not that innocent though, she's turning forty but it's also time to admit guilt, ask for forgiveness and stop looking behind their back.
The book has two timelines - present and eighteen years in the past when a girl went missing and Padma was attacked and lost her memory. I loved that writing was from the perspective of each character depending on the chapter, which gave more insight into their character and their thinking.
The plotting is excellent, as always. The author gives us a bit of clues which allow the reader to figure out some of the events, with a big reveal at the end.
The Final Party is definitely a book you can't miss if you love psychological thrillers!
